A talk by Andrew Sloane from the Museum of Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire.
The year is 1865, and a young man by the name of Christopher Charles Robinson is struggling to contain the voices in his head. Wracked with dark thoughts, Robinson makes a series of terrible decisions that destroy his own life and that of his sweetheart.
Examining love, death and mental illness in Victorian Staffordshire, 'The Ripper in the Family?' also examines the personal connection between Robinson and the period's most famous murderer, Jack the Ripper.
